The contest is too close to call but broad policy continuity will prevail. Dilma Rousseff (PT), Lula's preferred successor, will benefit from some transfer of his popularity, but Jose Serra, the likely PSDB candidate, currently leads her in the polls by 15-20%, owing to his higher public recognition. 6906c9b0f95c47c80f8baac48247c12eSun, 01 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 With the economic recovery gathering momentum in the run-up to the October 2010 election, the ruling PT will be better placed to gain a third term. The outcome is currently too close to call but broad policy continuity is likely. Dilma Rousseff (PT), Lula's preferred successor, will benefit from the transfer of his popularity, but Jose Serra, the likely PSDB candidate, currently leads her in the polls by 15-20%, owing partly to his higher public recognition. 0d5e30ebaf2b67653e2681d9d4359c42Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The economic downturn will make it more challenging for the ruling party to secure another term in October 2010. The health of Dilma Rousseff (PT), Mr? Lula's preferred successor, is causing uncertainty about her candidacy. We believe that economic difficulties will favour the likely candidacy of Jose? Serra, governor of Sao Paulo state, for the PSDB. d0a4f568a1e53874d0f3fc765f4e9979Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. c5f2b5d630084660354c82f21fc463b0Sat, 01 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/brazil_business_forecast_report_q4_2009.htmlOn Course For Recovery Although the majority of economies in the region have likely seen the rate of economic contraction peak during the first quarter of 2009, this by no means guarantees an immediate recovery and return to economic stability in the near term. However, in the case of Brazil, we are growing increasingly confident in our view that the economy may already be on the road to recovery, underpinning our expectations for a V-shaped recession cycle this year. In the Q409 Brazil Business Forecast Report we look at the extent to which the strong macroeconomic fundamentals generated in Brazil over the past decade, following painful reforms in the 1990s, will keep the economy in good stead. d631ac599ced5077a66aee8ed5cfd625Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/brazil_infrastructure_report_q3_2009.htmlDespite the government's continued commitment to supporting the development of Brazil's infrastructure, the country will be hit hard by the impact of the credit crunch on private investors. As a result of this and other downside risks we have revised down our forecasts for Brazil's construction industry and in BMI's Q309 Brazil Infrastructure Report we are forecasting a 6. 2% contraction in the construction industry value for 2009, to reach BRL130. 3aa13eb4176923dfe9896c9ddd4d70d2Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/brazil_defence_security_report_q3_2009.htmlBrazilian President Luiz In??cio Lula da Silva has pushed for an increase of more than 50% in Brazilian defence spending through to 2010. The country is developing a national defence plan, which may include increasing troop numbers in the Amazon, building nuclear and conventional submarines to protect offshore oil fields and modernise its weapons industry. It has signed an agreement with France to buy 50 military helicopters and five submarines, including one nuclear-powered vessel, the value of which could exceed $11bn. 7b02d793c86dd69bce1514863ad45d16Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The economic downturn will make it more challenging for the ruling party to secure another term in October 2010. The health of Dilma Rousseff (PT), president Lula's chosen successor, is causing uncertainty about her candidacy.

While the core scenario of a recession remains firmly in place, credible economic management and a business-friendly administration should avert a deeper and more prolonged downturn. That said, several imbalances are starting to surface as the country's boom years come to an end. 46feded771b6d6424c266a3812558fc8Tue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The harsh economic climate will make it more challenging for the ruling party to secure another term in October 2010. Although it is still early in the unofficial campaign, we believe that economic difficulties will favour the likely candidacy of Jose Serra, governor of Sao Paulo state, for the PSDB. The solid financial position of the government and state banks will support countercyclical measures that will mitigate the impact of the global recession. 226aeaea365dd6a6aaa557cf6e6cde85Tue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The harsh economic climate will make it more challenging for the ruling party to secure another mandate in October 2010.

However, the government, through its ongoing growth acceleration programme, is working to support infrastructure investments. As a result, in BMI's Q209 Brazil Infrastructure Report we believe that there will be growth in the value of the construction industry in 2009, of 2. 87aaf1bcf586c522dd29d9813f5d9948Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The harsh economic climate will make it more challenging for the ruling party to secure another mandate in October 2010. Although it is still early in the unofficial campaign, we believe that economic difficulties will favour the likely candidacy of Jose Serra, governor of SaoPaulo state for the Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB). Growing fiscal constraints will limit the government's ability to increase public investment in infrastructure, although we still expect countercyclical measures to mitigate the impact of the global recession. 14b45a537b45a858cd1fc7d345ff6cf0Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/brazil_infrastructure_report_q1_2009.htmlIndustry Forecast Scenario Like other countries, Brazil is suffering the ill effects of the global financial crisis and the subsequent global economic downturn. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the Brazilian economy is so strongly linked to the US economy, the epicentre of the current problems. Private sector-led construction activity is now taking a big hit, because of a lack of investment funds, as well as reduced confidence among builders and end-buyers of commercial properties. e5966fc609c7aa623b483587163428f4Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/brazil_business_forecast_report_q2_2009.htmlBrazil's Fundamentals Put To The Test In 2009 The fundamentals underpinning Brazil's economic successes of the past five years, and its growing role as a regional leader in Latin America will be tested in 2009. Up until now, the Brazilian authorities have moved quickly to address existing imbalances in an effort to contain the effects of the global recession on Brazil. In the Q209 Brazil Business Forecast Report, we examine areas of the economy which will come under particular strain in 2009, and which will require political reforms in order to alleviate the risk of a prolonged economic downturn. a8da2b5132c28d3bb0608f3677272097Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/country_report_brazil_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The harsh economic climate will make it more challenging for the ruling party to secure another mandate in October 2010. Mr Lula da Silva will remain popular, but is constitutionally ineligible to stand for another term. We anticipate a close contest between Dilma Rousseff, Mr Lula da Silva's preferred candidate, and Jose Serra, the likely candidate of the opposition Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB) in 2010. 56e53f257642843a3974bed674937146Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazilhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/brazil/brazil_isa_january_2009_country_report.htmlThis report contains detailed forecasts and analysis for Brazil, including trade and investment analysis, economic forecasts, political risk assessments and demographic trend analysis.

It is early to make a firm prediction for the October 2010 presidential election, but more difficult economic times seem likely to favour the candidacy of JoseSerra, the opposition governor of Sao Paulo state. Policymakers will be focused in the short term on restoring stability in the domestic financial markets. e0d8ff68eb7f19e44cbcaa7a1a8fb86fFri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Brazil
